I'm sure my pseudo true headlines are enough to make you want to punch someone in Wii Boxing, but that doesn't change the fact that you still looked! To reward you, I'll divulge just what movie I'm talking about.

The King of Kong (imdb) was originally released as a video game themed documentary at SXSW by in March. The movie is about two men vying for the Guinness World Record high score on the arcade version of Donkey Kong. The movie was a huge hit, and now New Line has hired screenwriter Michael Bacall to pen a feature film adaption of the documentary. New Line and Bacall are looking to dramatize the film's main subject matter, making it more "hollywood" than "Wario's Woods". If you are a fan of the original, do not dispair, because Seth Gordon is back to direct the feature film. If you have never heard of the people I've mentioned in this post, I'd suggest you spend some time on Wikipedia before commenting.

Honestly, I can't wait to check out this movie. 10 coins for people who go and snap photos of themselves wearing DK shirts. Don't worry, I'll remember come August....

<Kojinka> When I saw this thread back on top, I was afraid this was gonna be another pointless bump by a new member, but when I saw Super-Jesse's username, my fears were laid to rest.

* Luigison gets his DK shirt and prepares his bank account for ten 1933 Double Eagle coins.  See you in August.

On certain stories, if I can think of a funny image, I'll try to make it :P

Man, making a plotted movie out of a documentary seems like a really really bad idea to me.
That was a joke.

There's already a big controversy about the accuracy of the documentary, so if they turn this into a feature film, I see several lawsuits in the future.

Oh, I see that now. whenever I see "barrel" and "roll" together, I think of barrel rolling.

Bp, you actually put him into an exploding barrel. *Barrel explodes at bottom of hill*
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Wouldn't an imploding barrel in space (with a person inside) stay the same shape?
That was a joke.

I watched the Youtube trailer.
The background music is 'Teenage Wasteland', how fitting, lol.
The writer must earn money in order to be able to live and to write, but he must by no means live and write for the purpose of making money.
